This elegant set of goblets exemplifies mid-century European craftsmanship in natural stone. Each piece is hand-carved from solid banded onyx, revealing mesmerizing layers of warm amber, cream, rust, and honey tones formed over millennia. The artisans have shaped the stone into classic goblet silhouettes, polished to a luminous sheen that accentuates the mineral’s natural translucence.
Evocative of a time when European ateliers celebrated organic materials and timeless form, these goblets blur the line between functional vessel and sculptural art. Whether displayed as decorative objets or used as votive holders, they embody the quiet luxury of natural earth elements refined through human craft.
